Is Kate Middleton More Like The Queen Than Princess Diana?

Comparing one person to another is a lot like comparing apples to oranges—both are similar but unique. So when it comes to comparing Kate Middleton and her late mother-in-law Prince Diana, one or the other inevitably comes up short due to individual differences, tastes, persona, etc.

That hasn’t stopped people from doing it, however! And if we’re being honest, there is a fairly good reason to compare the two women in that each has had to deal with the title royal consort on the horizon.

People Were Quick To Compare Kate Middleton To Princess Diana When She Began Dating Prince William

But now royal watcher Victoria Murphy is making a bold comparison between Kate and Queen Elizabeth.

According to the author, Kate is much more like the queen than Diana as they have an introverted manner in common as well as a love of the great outdoors. She says that the two women are also alike in that they have an “ability to compartmentalize,” matters.

As a matter of fact, many royal experts agree with Murphy in her assessment of Kate and Elizabeth.

Some Think That Kate Middleton Has Grown More Confident Into Her Role In The Royal Family

Speaking to Yahoo UK, Murphy notes that the public was quick to judge Kate against Diana even though the two are worlds apart in style and temperament.

“I’ve always thought that Kate has more in common personality-wise with the Queen,” she said, “not an extrovert, but quietly self-assured with a love of the outdoors and the ability to compartmentalize.”

“I think she still remains more of a team player than a leader though and perhaps more of a listener than a talker, but I think these qualities are well-suited to her current and future roles.”

Murphy also believes that Kate has come into her own since joining The Firm and is blossoming into a first-rate queen consort.

“There is no doubt that Kate has hugely grown in confidence since joining the royal family,” she said. “In the beginning, she was very keen to learn the ropes and look to others for guidance over what she should be doing and you could sense that. But gradually she’s started to take the lead more and now it feels much more like she is a driving force when it comes to the types of causes she and William are taking on and the way they approach their work.”
